That plus the metal covers, it sounds pretty muddy and uninspiring. From what I have gathered online, they are WAY overwound (like to the tune of 14k). but I also just happen to like the sound of a wound G a bit better anyway)
(I'm sure a proper setup would have also fixed things up and not required a wound G. Plays really well! I have had some slight intonation issues with the G string, but that fixed up nicely after I put a set on with a wound G. The guitar build and quality is actually quite impressive, IMO.
